Oops! Wrong forum. Sorry Mods, please move Tim

The blizzard scheme of the F-16 aggressor jet looks cool to me and I'd like to build it one day. Looking for some build references, I came across Diego Quijano's Encyclopedia booklet dedicated to the F-16 aggressor so I bought it. Boy am I severely disappointed!!! I don't know what happened, but my book is missing ALOT of pages (jumps from page 6 to 15) and has 2 chapter 6's. I think someone at the Ammo by Mig quality dept was asleep at the job Does anyone else have this book and have the same problem??? Tim

Wow, simply stunning!!! Tim

Is Hobbyworld USA still doing business? I see the web store is open, but ALOT of models are either listed as "on demand" or "back ordered" I sent Matt an email about a month ago and he hasn't replied. Anyone know anything more??? Tim

Oh boy, here we go again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tim

I've seen on the net somewhere that someone (don't remember who) sold the jumping figures. Sorry the response was so vague! I'll keep looking. EDIT: CMK makes the airborne figures labeled UH-60, but I'm sure you could swap their heads for the good ole vietnam steel pot helmet. Tim

Wow, I didn't know that. It don't matter to me though as I will never build it. Just become a shelf space taker. Tim

That headset sure makes a nice piece of FOD waiting to be sucked up! Tim

I've heard the AMK kit is pretty good. I have a limited edition model signed in gold paint marker by the owner of AMK, Sio. Tim

Personally, I'd love to see some modern 1/35 US Army Airfield accessories produced, buuut I know that's not gonna happen. Tim

I ordered the Aber Phillips PE heads that Buster told me about. Tim

Man that IP looks top notch Chuck!!! Where did you get all your assorted lead wire sizes from? Tim

That's a good idea. I'll try Kevin's and your idea each. Tim

I'm looking for some Phillip's screw heads in 1/35 for a project. The head will be in a slightly recessed hole. I've checked Aber and it's a no go. This part will be a resin master so it has to hold up to the mold making. Any help would be appreciated. Tim

Tonight I finished up with the seat tracks on the pallet. Next up will be the drilling of all of the installation screw holes in the pallet. Tim

So just run the needle around the inside of the circle on the template??? Tim

I need to cut about 4 styrene discs. 020 thick and 3/8 wide. Any recommendations as to what's the best for such small disks? I've looked at the Olfa one and it doesn't go that small. Tim

Pete No, just creating this set in hopes some aftermarket company wants it. I've noticed quite a few helo modelers wishing someone would release the current seats, so I thought I could help fill the need. Hope my work can satisfy there request. Tim

All the current USAF HH-60G helicopters are now using the new Martin Baker crew seats for the SMA's or special mission aviators. Kitty Hawk has done a great job in making the HH-60G kit, but currently there are no aftermarket seats or seat pallets available to represent the newer cabin setups used by AF HH-60G crews. So I decided to scratchbuild the seat pallet (what the seat attaches to and slides on) and eventually the new crew seat. Here's what the current cabin layout looks like So tonight I started scratchbuilding the seat pallet first. The base is a grey piece of .020 sheet styrene. I chose the color grey so the slide lines would be more visible as I built it. On top of the grey sheet, I used various sizes of .010 white styrene to create the seat pallet. Here's my progress so far. And here it is placed in the correct position in the cabin of the KH floor. I'll finish the floor up tomorrow night. Comments and critiques welcome! Tim

Oliver, Found this on YouTube tonight. Maybe it can help you. Tim

Well, that makes my mind up! Makes me wonder how scammers like this stay open and not shut down somehow. Thanks Maru!!! Tim

Has anyone heard of this website? If so, any problems? Just wondering if it's a good site or one I should stay away from. Tim

Pete, I'm the admin of this group so I put your model as the group photo on my FB H-60 build page!!! Tim

Great start on the Hellcat, Chuck. Your build posts are the best I've ever seen (especially the pics)! What did you use to cut the PE piece with? Tim
